About Corset

A corset is a garment which shapes a body to be more aesthetic looking. Sometimes corsets are worn for medical purposes to keep the body more in line. Corsets can be worn by both men and women, but typically it is a woman’s garment. Corsets were very popular in the 1800’s as undergarments. The corset is supposed to cinch in the waist to make it narrower. A corset when worn very tight and for a long time can actually move the organs around in order to keep the waist looking small. This can create a less than attractive look and medical problems of its own. Corsets are made with lacing on the back and boning.

Dressing up as Corset

Since corsets are a type of garment there are plenty of ways to wear them for a costume. Costumes today typically use the corset as a top rather than an undergarment. You have a choice in a Lacy Pirate, Velvet Corset, or even a red lace and wings Corset if you wish to be a dark angel. The corset is the top part of the costume with a mini skirt or {peasant] skirt to go with it.
